Early Voting Options

One-time Vote by Mail: Any registered voter may apply for a Vote by Mail Ballot (also called absentee ballot). Sample ballot pamphlets contain an application on the back cover. You may also write to: RR/CC, Document Receipt, P.O. Box 30450, Los Angeles, CA 90030-0450 or Fax (562) 462-2354. If applying via letter, provide your home address and the address where the absentee ballot is to be sent. It is important to include your signature.

Vote by Mail Applications must be submitted for each election and received by the RR/CC not later than seven (7) days prior to the election. An individual application or letter request is needed for each person requesting a mail ballot for each election.

Permanent Vote by Mail: California State law provides that any voter may apply for permanent Vote by Mail status. Permanent Vote by Mail voters no longer have to apply for future elections. A ballot is automatically mailed for each election. For more information or to request an application for Permanent Vote by Mail status, call (562) 466-1323 or write the RR/CC office: RR/CC. P.O. Box 30450, Los Angeles, CA 90030-0450.

Emergency Vote by Mail: If in the seven days prior to the election you find you are unable to vote in person on Election Day, you may still request a Vote by Mail (absentee) ballot. You must make a written request, signed under penalty of perjury, and deliver it to the RR/CC's office at 12400 Imperial Highway, Norwalk, CA 90650.
